Hi Everyone,
I began my GMAT preparation about 4 months ago and i finally took the exam on 12/01/2017, unfortunately for I scored just 570 (Q40, V28). I am applying to the following schools,
1. Wilfred laurier MBA Co-op (Min GMAT 600)
2. Mcmaster MBA co-op, (Min GMAT 600)
I have a good GPA (3.53/4) and TOEF (106) but GMAT seems to be an issue for me, i understand all the concepts perfectly well but whenever i take a test i never score high even though i scored 630 on two consecutive Kaplan CAT.
I really don't know what to do but at the moment i want to retake the GMAT so that i get at least a 670+. I think i can blame my failure on poor test taking strategies and maybe study strategies too. I don't know if i should study for another month or two before rewriting because the schools i mentioned above do their admissions on a rolling basis and i don't want to be too late.
Please, I will appreciate any study tips or advice on how to move forward on my admissions.
i used kaplan 2016 and MGMAT for my preparation.

Dear Member,
I am Not an Expert but here is something which i can explain
1. Dont Go with Kaplan CATs
In my point of view Ranking of Best CATs is as following
1. GMAC Official CATs (GMAT prep, ep1, ep2)
2. Manhattan GMAT Cats
3. GMAT Club CATs
4. Veritas CATs
5. Kaplan CATs
so Kaplan is last option and it is not a true picture of your progress
Start to learn strategies with MGMAT Strategy Guide, GMAT Club Forum and CATs should be your companion
when you have learnt some Chapters i.e Algebra , Just go to GMAT Club forum and practice the Questions with Tag Algebra and Difficulty first 500, then 600 and in the last 700 level questions, do this technique with all MGMAT Guide, First learn then practice to strengthen your Topic..
When you have completed your MGMAT Quants then Do a Quant CAT Of GMAT CLUB CATs.
Do the same with verbal too, when both section has been done, then go to GMAC Official full CATs including IR and AWA
I Have made a Schedule of GMAT prep. If you have a time of 4 month this schedule may better for you. Tell me about your available time i ll send it to you.
Hope it Helps
Regards
Sajjad Ahmad

Here are my opinions.
I think your problem is from your strategy, both test taking strategy and study preparation.
First, what is the deadline that those schools require for the GMAT score?
Second, I agree with SajjadAhmad that Kaplan tests are not the good one, based on many user's reviews that I've read. GMAT Prep is the best one. Following is GMAT Club Tests, Manhattan GMAT Cats and Veritas CATs. These CATs are really enough for you to prepare and achieve a 700+ score. Also, before taking the actual GMAT exam about 1 month, you could take the GMAT Prep for demo test.
Third, I think that Quant Score is the first one you need to improve. Taking a huge collection of Quant questions in this forum could easily boost up your Quant score to at least 45, I strongly believe that. In case that you take Q45, V28, the overall score could be 650.
Increasing Verbal Score is quite hard though. In order to improve it, you need to have a schedule with strict discipline and heavy workload. In fact, there are many posts sharing exp to get a 700+ score in this forum. You could read them and select any strategy that suites you.
